A book from 2nd Grade

...it took a bit of looking, before I eventually found the book and purchased it. A favorite of mine still and a favorite of both of my girls.It is a fun romp about an alligator who for some reason can not keep his mouth closed and consequently keeps swallowing everything within reach of his mouth. Baby powder, hats, spoons, soap, zippers. His parents are desperate, and try everything they can think to keep their son from swallowing everything... ... and if you have a copy of this cute book, read it to your children often, your grandchildren, or your nieces and nephews, they will all love the book and will soon become a favorite of theirs as well.

Keep Your Mouth Closed Dear

This is a funny story about a little alligator who just can't keep his mouth closed. He swallows many things, and his parents try and try to teach him to "Keep your mouth closed, dear!". This book was a favorite of my daughter when she was young and I would dearly love to purchase it now for my niece and nephews. I hope the printers will consider another printing of this delightful children's book.

A great book, sorry it's out of print

Keep Your Mouth Closed Dear is the story of a small alligator who swallows all manner of things, including mom's wooden spoon, soap and other things - and the lenghts his parents go to trying to keep him from doing so. In the end, all is well - it's a great story. I loved it as a child and my children do to. Sorry to see I can't order it....perhaps it will be reprinted.
